Jerome Ford News
Saturday, March 14, 6:54 AM
The Washington Commanders agreed with former Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford on an undisclosed one-year deal on Saturday, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Ford will head to the NFC East after spending the first four years of his career playing in Cleveland, where he averaged 4.3 yards per carry for 1,463 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 340 carries over 57 games (18 starts). The 26-year-old played in a career-low 13 games for the Browns in 2025 and had just 24 rushing attempts for 73 yards and no touchdowns while adding 26 catches for 103 yards through the air on 32 targets. The former fifth-rounder in 2022 out of Cincinnati will now join a Washington backfield that also features Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White. Ford is likely to serve in a rotational RB3 role yet again in 2026 behind JCM and White, leaving him very little fantasy appeal to those in very deep leagues.

MarShawn Lloyd News
Tuesday, April 28, 8:27 AM
A third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd has not factored at all in his team's offense. Thanks to myriad injury issues, Lloyd has played in just one game and owns six career carries across his first two NFL seasons. Heading into 2026, star running back Josh Jacobs remains firmly atop Green Bay's running back depth chart. However, the Packers lost 2025 RB2 Emanuel Wilson in free agency, and the team did not add a running back with any of its 2026 draft picks. As a result, Lloyd figures to enter training camp in a battle with Chris Brooks and Pierre Strong Jr. for the backup running back role in Green Bay. Lloyd's injury history and his complete lack of NFL production to this point are both major red flags. Still, in deep dynasty leagues, Lloyd may be worth taking a chance on just in case he wins the Packers RB2 job and emerges as a priority handcuff running back.
